Lower international card pricing announced
Stripe's Australian pricing page carries a dated note that international card pricing falls from 1 April 2027. The current rate is 3.5% + A$0.30.
Last updated August 2026
Platforms change what they charge sellers more often than anyone publishes. This is every change we have recorded, with the date it took effect and the page we read it on — 7 in effect and 2 already announced for a future date.
We keep this because the alternative is what most of the web does: publish a fee guide once and let it quietly go wrong. Our calculators read from the same database, so when a rate moves here it moves everywhere on the site at once.
Lower international card pricing announced
Stripe's Australian pricing page carries a dated note that international card pricing falls from 1 April 2027. The current rate is 3.5% + A$0.30.
Lower domestic card pricing announced
Stripe's own pricing page states domestic pricing drops from 1 October 2026. Australian sellers are currently on 1.7% + A$0.30, already one of Stripe's cheaper non-European rates.
The US rate card is no longer published openly
TikTok's current US referral rate card sits behind a Seller Center login. Third-party articles published in 2026 quote 3%, 5%, 8% and 9% as current, none traceable to a TikTok-published source. We show the last openly published rate — 6% for most categories — and say so on the page rather than pick one of the rumours.

Professional subscription currently waived — as a promotion
Both Amazon.ae and Amazon.eg describe the waived monthly subscription as a limited-time arrangement on their own pricing pages. It is a promotion, not a price: unit economics modelled without a subscription line will move when it ends.
Subscription now scales with the seller's own revenue
Amazon Mexico charges no monthly fee for the first year, then MXN 75 a month for sellers under MXN 26,000 in monthly sales and MXN 600 for those above it. It is the only Amazon marketplace we track whose subscription depends on how much you sell.
Selling fee is 10%, not the 5% still widely published
Meta's published selling fee is 10% of the sale price with a $0.80 minimum. A large share of currently ranking guides still list 5% — which understates the cost of every sale by half. We corrected our own database when we found it.
Business rate is 2.6% + $0.15, not 2.75%
Cash App's business transaction fee is 2.6% plus $0.15 per transaction. The older 2.75% flat figure is still repeated across comparison sites and is now wrong in both parts — the percentage and the missing fixed fee.
US fee schedule reissued
PayPal's US merchant fee schedule carries an effective date of 15 July 2026. PayPal Checkout is 3.49% + $0.49 and standard card payments are 2.99% + $0.49, with 1.50% added on international commercial transactions.
Flat commission replaced with a tiered rate
Grailed moved off a single flat commission to a tiered structure. Articles still quoting one flat percentage are describing the old model.
Digital Services Fee now follows the country of sale
Amazon stopped applying one flat Digital Services Fee across Europe and began charging it at the digital services tax rate of the store where the sale happens. A UK-established seller pays 2% on UK sales and 3% on sales in the French, Italian and Spanish stores. The fee is charged on Amazon's own fees — referral and FBA — not on the item price, which is why it is missing from most fee guides.

These are not changes so much as corrections that never propagated. In each case the provider’s own page says one thing and a large share of currently ranking articles say another. If you are citing any of them, check the date on your source.
Widely published: Facebook Marketplace charges a 5% selling fee
Meta publishes 10%, with a $0.80 minimum — double the figure still in circulation.
Widely published: Cash App's business rate is a flat 2.75%
It is 2.6% + $0.15 — a lower percentage with a fixed fee that the old figure omits entirely.
Widely published: PayPal supports domestic payments in India
It does not. PayPal's own India fee page states that only international payments are supported for India users.
Widely published: PayPal charges one rate across the eurozone
It charges five. France and Spain are 2.90% + €0.35, Germany 2.99% + €0.39, Italy and the Netherlands 3.40% + €0.35.
Widely published: Amazon UK takes 15% and that is the whole fee
A Digital Services Fee of 2% is charged on top of Amazon's own fees, making the effective referral cost 15.3% — and 3% of fees on sales in the French, Italian and Spanish stores since 20 March 2026.
Widely published: TikTok Shop's US referral fee is definitely 8% (or 3%, or 5%, or 9%)
TikTok publishes its current US rate card behind a Seller Center login. Every one of those figures appears in 2026 articles; none is traceable to a TikTok-published page. The last openly published rate was 6% for most categories.
Every platform in our database carries the URL its rate came from and the date a human last checked it. On the monthly cycle we re-read those pages and compare; anything that moved lands here and in the calculator on the same day. The process, including how we handle corrections, is in our editorial policy.
For the full cross-country picture rather than the changes alone, see the Global Fee Index and fees by country.
We re-read the official fee page of every platform in our database on a monthly cycle, and immediately when a provider announces something. Changes are caught by comparing what the page says now against the rate stored in our database, which is why they surface here rather than months later.
Yes, freely and with attribution. Every entry links to the official page or the named trade publication it came from — cite that primary source alongside us. If you need a figure confirmed for a story, email hello@profitvana.com.
The provider has published a future date for the change but it has not taken effect yet. Rates marked announced are not what you pay today — our calculators use the current rate until the date arrives.
Because most fee articles are written once and never revisited, while platforms change pricing regularly. An article from 2023 that still ranks will still be quoting 2023 rates, and other writers copy from it. That is how a superseded number stays in circulation for years.
